    So, that first night with all the wind, Robin. What side of the big 3-man tent was it on - outside or inside? Only, I can see that beating you at pool carries its' price... Little wonder Kev felt ill in the morning...!!

    Hi Robin
    Great video as always despite grim weather on Bla Bheinn. I was on a Corbett bagging mission a bit further north based at Forest Ways with Forth Valley Mountaineering Club. I did Meallan nan Uan and Sgurr a'Mhuilinn on Friday in windy but dry and clear conditions. Canisp on Saturday again very windy but top 150m in cloud unfortunately but dry. On Sunday did Bheinn Damh again clear apart from top 150 metres and dry. Met Iain at Forest Ways on Sunday night who told me all about his compleation well done!! That me on 199 but the remaining 23 are all in far north and west and fairly remote so might take a year or two yet.

    • @WalkWithWallace
      @WalkWithWallace  ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers Paul, that's a decent sweep up. You're a bit ahead of me, I'm on 187. All my remaining Corbetts are north west. How was Iain's head after the party? 😂
